Abstract
A valve including a wall, a closure member, a motive force device, and a coupling member. The wall defines a flow passage that is disposed along a longitudinal axis. The closure member is disposed in the flow passage and is rotatable on a first axis that is oblique to the longitudinal axis. The closure member is rotatable between a first position that substantially prevents flow through the flow passage and a second position that generally permits flow through the flow passage. The motive force device rotates the closure member between the first position and the second position. The device includes a rotor that is rotatably supported by a bearing, a stator that is proximate to the rotor, and an overmolded housing that positions the stator with respect to the bearing. The coupling member conveys motive force from the device to rotation of the closure member.
